Bullied: You Are Not Alone

The growing world of cyber bullying is reaching new heights as youth struggle to hide their differences for fear of abandonment and public humiliation. Cyber bullying does not discriminate between boys, girls, physical differences or mental challenges and takes victims at will, since he or she can remain anonymous.

When most people think of bullying they think of physical abuse. However, bullying goes beyond the physical and can encompass the verbal. Learn what emotional bullying can do to an individual's self-esteem, why it's often a silent killer and how it can be put to an end.

Walk a mile in their shoes and witness first hand the struggles people with a disability face on a daily basis. Nick George, a young man with Asperger's syndrome, shares his experiences.

A vast majority of bullied students are harassed because of their sexual orientation. While some societies are growing in tolerance many students still face humiliation from their peers and even family members.
